Jun 2018

It was such a beautiful evening, warm, and a huge crowd having such a good time.

I thought to myself when hanging out that this crowd was the America I want, people of all races and all walks of life enjoying life and art and music together, and then this...

...the America that is...an America in slavery to the NRA.

I hope this annual event isn't destroyed by this. I've loved going, an open show. My son has to go over to pick up his painting this afternoon, which was not for sale.

He'll see what's happening.

I love Trenton. It could be such a beautiful city, but the guns need to go...they definitely need to go. We need very badly to rebuild Trenton and this doesn't help.
